Character creator

I hope they'll introduce some more hairstyles.

And I need an eyepatch. And a persistent glass of brandy. And a permanent grin.

And a scarf of course.

Other than that. it's fine.

Lipstick?

So what do you guys think? Would you like to see the character creator be put to use to give NPCs a face, too?

This is a tricky thing in like 99.9% at least current npc situations you will never see the pilot, that said however, it would be nice if they added the suit part of it relatively soonish and just kept helmet on for now, that could work great for both npc's and pc's and should be quite simple.

So, is there a galaxy-wide epidemic of lice or are we going to get charged for "wigjobs"? £5 for a tactical wig pack

So yeah, very short hair kinda makes sense in a weigh-less environment, you don't get hair all over when they fall out and whatnot, and did a quick random search for female astronauts in ISS and found one with long hair, to give you an idea of how none (near none) gravity hair acts.

Very quick search brought that one which is actually a good example of it, seems hair becomes extra poofy without gravity, so yeah, not so practical.
And that said considering at least until we get walking around, how little you would actually see hair styles in game, I can't imagine them being an only RL currency thing, but there would be some options, and maybe if you wanted an exotic thing then sure, or such and can't imagine them being expensive.

You forgot the mullet

I also want to be able to choose what type of teeth I have.

That's NOT a picture of me by the way

Have you seen the character creator for the upcoming mount and blade bannerlord?

You can give yourself some horrible teeth in that

Fallout 4 is due very soon, and looks to have an insane character creator, going to be interesting to see what people create for that.

No, I haven't, but I want it it ED!

I hope the sliders slide a long way to the right, my face is going to need a lot of wrinkles and look its proper age. Not worried about hair, hair is for the unexperienced.

.My dream is one day we get nvidea gameworks support with full 3d volumetric fog and other such effects but it does seem low hardware is the priority for now

Is that why you can play Elite in 4K and VR?

Yeah, you are right, if nothing in the interface is changed, we will indeed don't see any NPCs most of the time. What I had in mind was less about the actual NPC pilots of other ships - I am fine with them all looking the same (suit, helmet) for now - and more about other indirect NPC interaction, like for example adding faces to the missions from the bulletin board (for the "quest givers", so to say), the traders at the community screen, show faces in Galnet news about reoccurring characters (this could even incorporate the real player avatars in player submitted news articles) and so on.

Yeah, the Fallout 4 character creator looks like he's gonna have some cool customization options, but comparing it side by side with the images we have from the ED character creation, I think the later looks more impressive visually concerning the amount of details.
